This morning I had one of those great runs. The kind of run that you really, really need. The kind of run where the sun is shining, there is little wind, the air is fresh and it just feels fabulous to pound the pavement under your shoes. Today I was back together with some of the best women I know, relieving some stress, burning some calories, sharing some laughs and reminding myself that there is joy in just getting out and moving. Sometimes there is happiness in the simplest of things. Much needed. Feeling grateful for lacing up the sneakers and getting out there. Hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday and as we roll into Valentine’s Day surround yourself with love and positivity. You know I love you 😉

It’s Smokin’ Hot!

Well, I did my first official smokin’ hot sweaty run in the city today. I think the temperature was closing in on the 90’s but I don’t really want to know because if it really was only low 80’s I really might combust on our next run!! NYC in the summer can be unbearably hot, the concrete jungle absorbs the heat and it can feel like you are in a walled in sauna. And, let’s not even talk about the smells… But, I am determined to keep up my running this summer. So determined that I signed up for a 1/2 marathon in Philly in September. I know, only a truly crazy person (and her running friends) would sign up for a 1/2 marathon to motivate themselves to run throughout the summer. Insane. Maybe the heat really has gotten to my brain!!
But, we are doing it and will continue to motivate and encourage each other and we will keep up the running. And it is summer after all, so if we have to stop for cool drinks and popsicles along the way as we add on our miles, I truly believe that is acceptable. Today we were able to finish our run with an incredibly well earned run through the sprinkler. Thank you to the NY Parks Dept for the perfectly placed water relief and to Robin for encouraging us to jump on in. Who says the kids should have all the fun??!! Hope you are all having an amazing summer and are finding your own ways to keep and stay cool!! =)
